Positioning jump menus with CSS


Spawny

Recommended Posts

Hi Lads and lasses, i'm getting to grips with CSS slowly and having some great results, but i'm trying now to position 2 jump menus inside an element/box. When i put them in, they position by default on the left of the box (i want them on the base of the box left and right). It also expands the box and throws the dimensions out.

<div class="searchbox">By Productsearch <form name="form1">  <select name="Searchbyproduct" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">    <option>Router</option>    <option>Server</option>    <option>Switch</option>    <option>Network</option>    <option>Backups</option>  </select></form><form name="form2">  <select name="Bymanuf" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">    <option>HP</option>    <option>Cisco</option>    <option>Brocade</option>    <option>Sun</option>    <option>More...</option>  </select></form></div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd also appreciate knowing how you position text around an element like these.

float: left;to Your CSS file or CSS block in head part:

.left{float: left;}.right{float: right;}

and body:

<div class="searchbox"><div class="left">By Productsearch <select name="Searchbyproduct" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent', this, 0)">   <option>Router</option>   <option>Server</option>   <option>Switch</option>   <option>Network</option>   <option>Backups</option> </select></div><div class="right"> <select name="Bymanuf" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent', this, 0)">   <option>HP</option>   <option>Cisco</option>   <option>Brocade</option>   <option>Sun</option>   <option>More...</option> </select></div></div>

You can remove those forms if You are not sending with them.

Hi there, that kind of works but the boxes sit on different lines. I want them to horizontally align.
